NOTICE TO ON-DEMAND WORSHIPPERS
In order to expedite posting the worship services here on our website, we are reducing the transcript to just the scriptures used and the message. Union Grove UMC in partnership with Southland Books & Cafe, began holding Second Sunday Community Church in January 2023. Second Sunday Community Church takes place at 3 p.m. ET the second Sunday of every month, meets in-person at The Bird & The Book, and is also live-streamed on Facebook. Holy Communion is offered at every Second Sunday service. If you are worshipping on Second Sundays online whether during the live-cast or through on-demand viewing, you are encouraged to have bread and juice or wine available as you watch the service and to participate in communion just as if you are present with us.
Worship This Morning Canceled
Regretably due to my not feeling well with no time to arrange for a substitute, I have had to cancel worship this morning. We will return to worship at our regular time next Sunday, September 10, live on Facebook. Please also note that next Sunday is Second Sunday Community of Faith at 3:00 p.m. at The Bird and The Book, 1509 E Broadway, Maryville TN 37804. We encourage you to attend that service in-person if you are in our area. If you are not able to attend, it will also be livecast on Facebook.
Have a blessed and safe holiday weekend!
Rev. Val
